Introduction to Changzhou City Guide Words

Changzhou is located in the center of the beautiful and rich Yangtze River Delta, in the south of Jiangsu Province, with the Yangtze River in the north and Taihu Lake in the south, facing Shanghai and Nanjing equidistant. The following is the introduction of Changzhou city tour guide words that I have compiled for you. I hope you like them.

Changzhou is a city with profound cultural accumulation, distinctive features, rich resources and many bright spots, and should be at the forefront of the whole province and the whole country in cultural construction. However, among the five cities in southern Jiangsu, Nanjing and Suzhou have become the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities in China, and Zhenjiang is the second batch of them. Wuxi also held its head high last year, and only Changzhou is still wandering among the famous historical and cultural cities in the province, which makes us deeply reflect. So, is it possible to build Changzhou into a famous historical and cultural city in China? Where should Changzhou start to build a famous historical and cultural city? What are the highlights of Changzhou's cultural characteristics? At least in the following eight aspects:

First, the star-studded celebrity culture

The historical accumulation of more than 2,5 years in Changzhou has not only formed the Changzhou humanistic spirit of modesty and perseverance, honesty and perseverance, respect for morality and compatibility, but also produced a large number of historical and cultural celebrities. Where is the history of Changzhou? Famous people live in famous places. Among many celebrities, Ji Zha, a great sage in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xiao Tong, Prince of Zhaoming who wrote Selected Works of Zhaoming during the Qi and Liang Dynasties, Liu Xie who wrote Wen Xin Diao Long, Chen Ji, the chief editor of Yongle Dadian in the Ming Dynasty, and Tang Shunzhi, an all-round scholar in civil and military affairs, are the most prominent. As for the Qing Dynasty, Changzhou was full of talented people. The "Five Schools" gave birth to many national first-class scholars and literati, such as Duan Yucai, Sun Xingyan, Hong Liangji, Zhao Yi and Liu Fenglu, and literati such as Huang Jingren, known as "Li Bai of the Qing Dynasty". Since the late Qing Dynasty, there are still many cultural celebrities in Changzhou: Sheng Xuanhuai, Lv Simian, Liu Bannong, Qu Qiubai, Zhang Tailei, Yun Daiying, Shi Liang, Zhao Yuanren, Hua Luogeng, Liu Haisu, and so on. It is precisely because of the numerous celebrities in Changzhou, Zhong Ling, that Gong Zizhen, a famous scholar and poet in the Qing Dynasty, lamented Changzhou that "there are tribes among celebrities in the world, but there is no such thing in the southeast"; Miao Jinhong, a famous contemporary scholar, made a statistical analysis of the geographical distribution of outstanding experts and scholars in more than 4 cities in China since the pre-Qin period, and came to the conclusion that Changzhou ranked fourth in the country after Suzhou, Hangzhou and Beijing. Numerous historical and cultural celebrities have left a considerable number of celebrity former residences for Changzhou, and there are more than 3 celebrity former residences in the urban area alone. Celebrity's famous residence has become one of the most remarkable characteristics of Changzhou culture. The saying that "go to Suzhou to see gardens, Wuxi to see Taihu Lake and Changzhou to see celebrities' former residences" has been recognized by the world. In order to show its long history, Changzhou should first start from the celebrity residence. In recent years, the construction of a new celebrity's former residence and memorial hall is becoming an important display window to publicize Changzhou and enhance the image of the city. In the next step, we should make great efforts to further strengthen the restoration and opening-up of celebrities' former residences, and string the famous houses scattered everywhere into necklaces, which will become the highlight of Changzhou's history and culture.

Second, colorful cultural heritages

The splendid history of civilization has left numerous kinds of material and intangible cultural heritages for Changzhou. There are 4 national key cultural relics protection units, 27 provincial cultural relics protection units and 87 municipal and county cultural relics protection units in our city. Among them, there are Neolithic cultural sites represented by Weidun, Sidun and Sanxing Village, Yancheng Site, the oldest ground city in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is rare at home and abroad, Tianning Temple, which is called "the first jungle in the southeast", and Tianning Temple, which is named after Su Dongpo's boating. Changzhou gardens have a long history, which flourished in Ming and Qing dynasties. Now there are some well-preserved gardens, such as near gardens, around gardens, unfinished gardens and Italian gardens. In 26, 25 intangible cultural heritages, including Changzhou Comb, Tianning Temple Buddhist Music, Xiju Opera, Changzhou Daoqing, Changzhou Chanting, Dong Yong Legend, Maoshan Taoist Music, etc., were included in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage protection lists at the provincial level. Recently, the Ministry of Culture announced the list of the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage recommended projects, and there are nine items on the list, namely: Changzhou chanting, Tianning Temple chanting, tin opera, Changzhou comb, Jintan sealed wine brewing technology, Jintan lifting pavilion, Jintan Dongyong legend, Jintan paper carving and Changzhou Liuqing bamboo carving, making it the city with the largest number of entries at one time in the province. Traditional arts and crafts with distinctive local characteristics in the south of the Yangtze River are a wonderful flower in the intangible cultural heritage of our city. There are more than 2 main categories: bronze carving, stone carving, glass carving, comb carving, tooth carving, needle embroidery, bamboo carving, mahogany shallow carving, micro carving, jade carving, cloisonne silk-cut painting, paper cutting, colorful velvet painting, pyrography, pottery, bronze sculpture, craft clock, etc. In the face of colorful cultural heritage, we should first strengthen the protection and development of historical relics and constantly enrich their connotations; Second, it is necessary to restore and open famous historical and cultural gardens in a planned way; Third, we should actively rescue and inherit the intangible cultural heritage and complete the vast project of sorting out the posthumous notes of the sages as soon as possible; Fourth, we should set out to establish a cultural industry gathering place that integrates exhibition, creation, production and sales, so that Changzhou arts and crafts products can enter the market as soon as possible and form a scale, resulting in economic and social benefits that match their values.

iii. Long-standing industrial and commercial civilization

As one of the few famous industrial and commercial cities with a long history in China, Changzhou has made a great contribution to the economic history of China. Comb production appeared in Changzhou in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Changzhou was one of the 15 paper-producing areas in China. Moreover, Changzhou's "Touluo" was popular all over the world, and "the new makeup cleverly painted two moths and covered Changzhou Touluo". Two poems by the great poet Yuan Zhen vividly described the popularity of Changzhou's silks and satins. In the Song Dynasty, "Jinling Silk" was once very famous, and Changzhou, Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Hunan and Songsong were also called the five major silk weaving producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. In Ming Dynasty, Changzhou was one of the 33 large commercial and handicraft cities in China. In the Qing Dynasty, Changzhou has become an important region of the national tax source. "Jiangnan is the best in wealth and wealth, and Susong Town is the crown of Jiangnan". In modern times, Changzhou's industry and commerce rose to "industrial and commercial city", and China's national industry sprouted during the Westernization Movement. However, as early as 1859 before the Westernization Movement, the first modern industrial enterprise and the first commercial enterprise in Changzhou were born. Changzhou has also stepped out of Sheng Xuanhuai and Liu Guojun, two famous industrial and commercial giants at home and abroad. Sheng Xuanhuai set up ten firsts in China's modern history, and Liu Guo is a famous patriotic businessman. In 198s, Changzhou became a famous industrial star city in China, famous for its developed township industries, and created the famous "Southern Jiangsu Model". Today, Changzhou is making great efforts to build a famous city of modern equipment manufacturing industry. In 26, Changzhou was selected as one of the 12 cities with brand economy in China, and in 27, Changzhou was selected as one of the top ten cities (counties) in China. Calling Changzhou a "century-old shop" is worthy of the name. There are many modern national industrial and commercial remains in our city, such as Dacheng Factory, Comb Factory, Housheng Machine Factory, Linqing Wood Industry Office, Qiji Factory, Qiji Power Plant, Dacheng No.3 Factory, Dacheng No.4 Factory and Chang Chai Factory. Together with the materials and objects of Sheng Xuanhuai family, a national industrial and commercial tycoon in China, it constitutes an indispensable part of Changzhou's industrial and commercial development history and has become another feature of Changzhou culture. We should pay great attention to the protection, development and utilization of these industrial and commercial remains in urban planning and construction, especially in the landscape transformation of Changzhou section of the old canal.

4. Charming tourism culture

As far as tourism resources are concerned, Changzhou is relatively scarce in southern Jiangsu. In view of this, our city actively implements the government-led grand tourism development strategy, pays attention to making full use of each other's strengths, is good at innovation and creation, dares to make something out of nothing, and conducts differential competition by tapping potential advantages. By giving priority to the development of six key tourist attractions, we plan to start six new tourist areas (belts) and strive to transform Changzhou from a tourist transit city to a tourist destination city. Yancheng, which has the reputation of "China's first water city", is the most complete ground ancient city pool preserved so far in the Spring and Autumn Period, the only remaining ancient city site in the world in the shape of three cities and three rivers, and it can be called a civilized relic exposed on Woye and a masterpiece created by Bishui Township. Tianning Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, is known as "the first jungle in Southeast China" and the highest tower Tianning Pagoda in China, which contains the bloody Buddhist relics of the Tathagata. It is Changzhou's "Tower of Prosperity", "Tower handed down from generation to generation", "Tower of Culture" and "Tower of Tourism". China Dinosaur Park is a comprehensive theme amusement park that perfectly combines natural history exhibition, film and television special effects, modern sound and photoelectric technology and multimedia network, and is full of mysterious atmosphere of ancient times, which is a new symbol of Changzhou dragon culture. Trees grow by the water's edge, water flows in the forest, mountains and rivers set each other off, forests and waters meet each other, thousands of acres of tea gardens, 1, acres of bamboo forests, and the vast Tianmu Lake is famous in the south of the Yangtze River for its sweet water, fragrant tea and fresh fish heads. It is really a green fairyland for ecological leisure. Changzhou, which has six 4A-level scenic spots, such as China Dinosaur Park, Tianmu Lake, Tianning Temple, Maoshan Mountain, Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Asia Film and Television City, is increasingly showing the cultural tourism characteristics of "good mountains, good water and good scenery, ancient temples, ancient pagodas and canals, famous buildings and famous buildings, and dragon garden and dragon culture in Longcheng". In the next few years, our city's tourism culture should focus on enriching its connotation and improving its level, focusing on building: 1. "Spring and Autumn Culture" represented by Yancheng site; 2. "Buddha culture" represented by Tianning stupa; 3. "Dragon Culture" represented by dinosaur park;

4. "Celebrity culture" represented by celebrity residence.

V. The catering culture that has sprung up suddenly

None of the "eight major cuisines" originated in Changzhou, but Changzhou catering enjoys a good reputation on the Shanghai-Nanjing line, and the embryonic form of "gourmet capital" is emerging. What is the reason? The reason is that Changzhou catering has formed its own characteristics: First, it is eclectic and all rivers run into the sea. On the premise of adhering to Huaiyang cuisine, the catering industry in Changzhou has vigorously introduced Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Muslim cuisine and so on. Diversification and great integration have become the remarkable characteristics of Changzhou catering, and "sitting in Changzhou can eat the world" is by no means a hollow name. The second is to inherit history and bring forth the new. The profound cultural heritage endows Changzhou catering industry with rich cultural connotations. Changzhou catering industry is determined to inherit the history and constantly bring forth the new, offering banquets and famous dishes that are loved by many diners, such as Dongpo Banquet, Tianmu Lake Fish Head, Golden Yao Zhu Tang, and Pot Cabbage. The third is the flagship pilot, and a hundred battles are competing. The catering industry in our city has accelerated the development of collectivization, scale and chain operation, with the emergence of leading catering enterprises such as Changxing Tower, Fuji, Daniang Dumpling, Lihua Fast Food and Caigenxiang, forming a catering layout of "three streets and two plates", showing a good situation of mutual tolerance, cooperation and win-win. Fourth, form and quality are unified, and quality comes first. The organic unity of architecture, decoration, appearance and quality is another major feature of Changzhou catering culture. No matter the appearance or interior decoration of the building, the clothes of waiters, the style of dishes and even the utensils for holding dishes, they all reflect the rich characteristics of China classical traditional culture. Based on the existing foundation of Changzhou, it is entirely possible to turn Changzhou into a "Jiangnan Restaurant and Food Capital" and a veritable "Jiangnan Banquet Hall" through several years of efforts. This requires us to print a business card full of Changzhou flavor with a brand-new concept, a brand-new pattern and a brand-new action, from the aspects of "all-round, big, famous, excellent and small" and the ubiquitous food culture.

Vi. Flourishing Creative Culture

With the strong support of policies and the strong promotion of the government, the animation industry in our city has developed by leaps and bounds, and three distinctive animation industrial parks have been built, including "Entrepreneurship", "Constant Innovation" and "Baona", and public technical services, personnel training, international cooperation, derivative product research and development, product property rights trading, and so on. China (Changzhou) International Animation Art Week has become one of the most internationalized and specialized international exchange platforms for animation industry in China. Relying on this platform, Changzhou National Animation Industry Base has made great progress, and has initially possessed the "depression effect" of animation industry entrepreneurship, forming a huge centripetal force for the rapid gathering of capital, creativity, talents and logistics, and many indicators rank among the top 15 animation bases in China. At present, the base has gathered more than 1 animation enterprises with a registered capital of 4 million yuan, and has the ability to produce 4,5 episodes and more than 5, minutes of animation works every year. In 27, Changzhou was officially named as "National Digital Entertainment Industry Demonstration Base" by the Ministry of Culture. Taking this opportunity, from 28 to 21, our city will strive to build five animation industry clusters, namely, animation original production cluster, animation derivative product R&D production cluster, animation tourism and leisure cluster, animation derivative product trading cluster and animation talent training cluster. To speed up the development of Changzhou's creative culture, we should play the three cards of regional economy, cultural resources and colleges and universities, make good use of Changzhou's cultural resources, vigorously build a multicultural industrial system led by creative industries, transform Changzhou concepts into Changzhou concept products, and finally form a Changzhou concept product chain, making Changzhou a first-class animation industry base and a famous animation city in China.

VII. Performing arts culture full of spring scenery

In recent years, our city has grasped the cultural consumption, which is the natural combination of performing arts and market, followed the development and changes of consumption concepts, consumption patterns and consumption trends, and launched programs with diverse themes and brands, so as to comprehensively promote the reform and development of performing arts and realize the rapid and healthy development of performing arts. Changzhou Asia Gold Coast Performing Arts Stage, one of the nine chain performing arts stages in Hangzhou Gold Coast, attracted Changzhou audience with its artistic characteristics of appreciating elegance and vulgarity and participating in interaction, quickly occupied the performing arts market in our city, and was gradually built into a well-known cultural brand. In 26, it was included in the second batch of national cultural industry demonstration bases by the Ministry of Culture. Our city also insists on planning and deploying modern performing arts and tourism together to form an industrial complex, so as to promote tourism and performing arts to complement each other and prosper together. Founded in 25, the China Dinosaur Garden Art Troupe has ingeniously highlighted the element of theme park "theme performance", rooted the life of art in dinosaur culture, and fully demonstrated it by creating the original ecological wonder of "Rubbra tribe" and using modern innovative arts such as sound, light and electricity, and launched large-scale performing arts programs "Rubbra Myth" and "Rubbra Festival", which won the enthusiastic pursuit of tourists. Tin Opera is a traditional opera with local characteristics in Changzhou, and it has become the knowledge of all walks of life in our city to carry forward, inherit and revitalize it. The revitalization of tin opera depends on making detailed Changzhou tin opera planning as soon as possible, strengthening the protection of inheritors, strengthening the construction of troupe, strengthening the cultivation of tin opera soil, strengthening market guidance, increasing cooperation with the media, providing a relatively fixed performance platform for entertainers, and pioneering and innovating in the ideological field. In addition, the Changzhou Grand Theatre, which will be completed and opened this year, has first-class hardware facilities and is an important stage for cultural life. Through effective management, we are fully capable of attracting first-class performance groups and holding various large-scale performances, making the Grand Theatre an art palace for Changzhou people.

VIII. Improving cultural facilities

In recent years, the city has continuously increased its investment in cultural infrastructure projects. In the past five years, the city's general budget expenditure on cultural undertakings has increased by more than 2% annually. In the construction of large-scale cultural facilities, our city follows the requirements of being moderately advanced, reflecting the characteristics of the times and local characteristics, making unified planning and rational layout to meet the medium and long-term needs of cultural development. In the 11th Five-Year Plan
